A non-frangible load release assembly having a pre-set tension for release is presented. The load release assembly comprises a snap shackle having a quick release and a link, a spring having a spring rate, and an actuating line with a length selected based on the spring rate to provide the pre-set tension for the load release assembly. The spring is attached to the link of the snap shackle. The actuating line is connected to the quick release of the snap shackle.

The invention relates to a load holder (1, 200) for a suspension system for suspending loads, comprising fastening means (30, 30′) for releasably fastening a suspension module (10) to and/or a suspension module (10) on a first end of the load holder (1, 200), as well as a load bearing device (60) at a second end of the load holder (1, 200), which faces away from the first end along a longitudinal direction (L) of the load holder (1, 200). In order to reduce the risk of falling loads when using the suspension system and to simply the correct set-up of the suspension system, the load holder (1, 200) further comprises a levelling module (20, 20′) for adjusting a length (L1, L2) of the load holder (1, 200) in the longitudinal direction (L) and a measurement module (40) for measuring a tensile load between the load bearing device (60) and the first end.

The invention relates to an anchor device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (10), such as a load ora loading surface. The anchor device (1) also has a connecting part (6) which is held on the base part (2) and can be pivoted relative to the base part about a swivel axis (4). The base part (2) has a bearing surface (8) for contact with the object. The connecting part has an opening (12) for attaching a fastening, lifting, lashing or tensioning means. In order to increase the handling of the anchor device (1) and its operational safety, a snap mechanism (29), which has at least one snap position (30) along a pivoting movement (28) of the connecting part about the swivel axis, is provided in accordance with the invention. The snap mechanism generates a braking force (32) in the direction of the pivoting movement in front of the snap position which is reduced in the direction of the pivoting movement behind the snap position. The snap mechanism can be used to allow the connecting part to automatically assume certain positions along the pivoting movement. In addition, the snap mechanism can be used to prevent the connecting part from hitting the object or to latch the connecting part in a non-use position.

A hanging fitting comprising a rotary fitting, the rotary fitting comprising: an anchor fitting; a rotary coupling member pivotally supported by the anchor fitting; a first bearing which supports the rotary coupling member rotatably; and a second bearing which supports the rotary coupling member rotatably, the rotary coupling member being provided with a rotary shaft part; the anchor fitting being provided with a fixing portion, and a fitting coupling part; the fitting coupling part being provided with a coupling recessed part; the first bearing comprising a circumscribed recessed groove, an inscribed recessed groove facing the circumscribed recessed groove, and a plurality of first bearing balls inserted into an endless passage; and the second bearing comprising a circumscribed step part, an inscribed step part facing the circumscribed step part, and a plurality of second bearing balls inserted into an endless passage.

An articulating joint for a wind turbine having a tower defining a shaft and a deck provided in the shaft includes a bracket extending from a first end having a fixed connection with the deck to a second end including an opening. A fastener includes a head pivotably connected to the tower and a shaft extending through the opening. A washer connected to the bracket is aligned with the opening for receiving the shaft such that the fastener is pivotable with the washer relative to the opening to allow for relative movement between the tower and the deck.
